Why is this Dennis O'Neil run so fricking hyped up? The prose on this first page are fricking dreadful, I bust out laughing at every text bubble it just reads like a parody. Apparently the art goes to shit halfway through as well. Frick you Cinemaphile
Hot take: the only good Question is the JLU/Rorschach-lite one and DC needs to boost the living frick out of that guy instead of trying to make Rorshaq a thing. The Denny one is an OK 80s comic but it's so divorced from Ditko it's really not the Question.
>instead of trying to make Rorshaq a thing
They aren't anymore than he already was. Nobody liked or had faith in King's shitty series.
I don't like it either. The writing is your average, overwritten narration, so I don't know what you could find funny about that.
However, Cowan sucks. Some of the covers trick you too with the nice Sienkiewicz inks.
The only O'Neil comic I like is his Bronze Age Batman.
Ditko Question was barely a character, but his adventures were kinda fun. There's one cool moment where he's in a warehouse full of henchmen, and he keeps switching between Vic Sage and The Question.
This is a fanfic.
>However, Cowan sucks
You suck.
Nah, he sucks. Cowan's work on The Question is a prime example of soulless, jobber art.
What other artists have this soulless jobber art?
Neal Adams, Frank Quitely, Darwyn Cooke, and Frank Miller
You just baiting.
The ones I don't remember.
These were all great at some point.
That's not me.
Cartoonist Kayfabe is cringe.
>Not liking Cowan soulful sketchy cartoonish style
frickin' get some taste, bet you like jobber art homosexual.
>Fan fic
It's officially published comics, it's not a fan fic cry about it.
>The Denny one is an OK 80s comic but it's so divorced from Ditko it's really not the Question.
It would’ve been cool if O’Neal had like metaphorically killed off Ditko character in order to have him reborn as a new imagining
That's what Gaiman did with Sandman
He did do that though in the first issue.
Yeah but what I liked was that Vic still struggled to follow his new zen lessons and falls back on his old habits, he felt conflicted at times.
>The prose on this first page are fricking dreadful, I bust out laughing at every text bubble it just reads like a parody.
Keep reading. The first issue is basically setting up a character that gets his world view shattered. The writing is still of the era, and O'Neil was already an older writer in the 80's, so I'm not familiar with what your tolerance to older writing might be.
This is why fanfics and oc's are better
What's so bad about the prose?
OP is on so many levels of self-awareness and post-cringe culture he can't appreciate flowery prose.
>I am too lazy to actually read comics but I sure like watching the shows!
JLU Question is even more far divorced from Ditko than O'Neil. Ditko's Question was a sqaurejawed, confident hero, JLU's is a self-loathing self-styled creep. O'Neil's question organically evolves from the Ditko one, JLU Question is him crammed into a rorschach mold.
Vic losing his mind trying to make sense of how Hub City got so damn bad could be an organic development from the end of the O'Neil Run, especially since the cause turned out to be the CIA selling drugs in low rent parts of cities all over the country to pay for guns to sell to the Iranians. Or buy from the Iranians? I can never remember it right.
>OP is on so many levels of self-awareness and post-cringe culture he can't appreciate flowery prose.
This is why I laugh so hard at people asking for a return to "traditional storytelling" and hating ironic humor (Like that one autist who keeps b***hing about that Whedon quote); whenever presented with actual sincerity, those same people hate it.
Okay, hon.
>The prose on this first page are fricking dreadful, I bust out laughing at every text bubble it just reads like a parody.
Why the frick are zoomers so allergic to anything made before their time?
I really can't imagine anyone busting out laughing after any of those text excerpts. They'd have to be the most obnoxious person or intentionally reading it to themselves in a corny voice.
>Laugh out loud almost like a parody
>Just sounds like a guy telling you what about to go down and it pretty forward about it
Are you mental?
This.
>I really can't imagine anyone busting out laughing after any of those text excerpts.
The kind of people who do are midwits who have Dunning-Kruger
>Filtered by the very first page
At least you made it past the cover
>The prose on this first page are fricking dreadful
You like shit art? cuz he looks pretty damn cool imo and it's well drawn.
>it's well drawn
not really
Yeah, it kind of sucks.
You've just never read a pulp detective novel before homosexual. Would you rather it was written like a Joss Wheadon comedy routine like everything is now?
>You've just never read a pulp detective novel before
Wouldn't reading something good make this seem more shit?
>Would you rather it was written like a Joss Wheadon comedy routine like everything is now?
No, that's way worse. I want comics to be good.
>No, that's way worse. I want comics to be good.
No you don't. You'll just whine about it.
I got the Mr. A collection and I got to say its very nice. Kinda what I would somewhat expect from a Question comic.
it was good by its decade standards
